Kinky Boots

Fri 17 - Sat 25 Jan 2025

Synopsis

Everybody Say Yeah to a new Made at Curve production of the Tony ® and Olivier ® award-winning musical KINKY BOOTS as this sole-ful show returns to its Midlands roots.

After inheriting his family’s failing shoe factory and with a relationship on the rocks, life is proving to be very challenging for Charlie Price. That is until he meets Lola, a drag queen whose sparkle and unsteady heels might just hold the answer to saving the struggling shoe business.

Starring Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe in his musical debut, and rising star Dan Partridge (EVITA, GREASE THE MUSICAL), this Made at Curve production is directed by Nikolai Foster (THE WIZARD OF OZ, EVITA, BILLY ELLIOT) and features sensational music and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper and a hilarious and life-affirming book by Harvey Fierstein.

Guaranteed to Raise You Up and celebrate everybody’s individuality, don’t miss KINKY BOOTS at Curve in 2025.

Age guidance: 8+
Running time: Approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes (including a 20 minute interval)
Show warnings: Contains themes of an adult nature and flashing lights

*Johannes Radebe is scheduled to appear in all performances of KINKY BOOTS at Curve. Please note than any changes to the cast for a performance (including star casting) will not entitle you to a refund.
